Discharge of political prisoners is most important
The Armenian National Congress (HAK) is seriously concerned over the release of 19 political prisoners. In its September 18 rally near the Matenadaran, the Congress is going to speak about inner and outer challenges the country is facing, says HAK representative David Shahnazarian.
Mr. Shahnazarian is going to make a proposal to Armenian leadership before the Protocols on Armenian-Turkish relations are submitted to the parliaments for ratification.
"I think the offer will be difficult to refuse," said Mr. Shahnazarian without detailing.
"The Protocols are supposed to be signed on October 13 and forwarded to the parliaments of both countries. Turkey's Parliament will undoubtedly link the implementation of Protocols with the resolution of the Karabakh conflict. Armenia's Parliament will do whatever Serzh Sargsyan says to do," says the HAK representative.
Today, David Shahnazarian also referred to Armenian-Georgian relations.
"The issue is much more serious than we think and the authorities of both countries must think over it. Armenia and Georgia have common interests regarding Nabucco gas pipeline."
Assessing the parliamentary commission's report on the March 1-2 clashes, Mr. Shahnazarian said, "Obviously, the commission had one aim-to conceal the March 1 slaughter organized by Robert Kocharian."
